Default LPV only?

Have any WAAS LPV approaches been established for runways that do not already
have an ILS in place? I'm presuming the limiting factor is LPV deployment is
clearing the approach airspace, lighting, runway length rather than drawing the
approach plate...

Does the FAA publish its priorities or a schedule of new/improved approaches?

Most LPV IAPs that have been published to date are not to ILS runways.

There are strict airspace issues, similar to an ILS. No course change
at the FAF unlike other RNAV.

Parallel taxiway.

GQS (glideslope qualification surface) a very strict obstacle-free area
inside DA to the runway.

No lighting required for daytime. ALS are optional for reduction in
visibility.

Production plan for all IAPs:
